<h3>
<strong>The Marthas</strong></h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.themarthas.com">Sisters of Saint Martha</a> were founded in Antigonish in July 1900 to meet the domestic needs of St. F. X. College. Beginning with a small group of fifteen young women, the Sisters grew in number expanding their services across Canada. The pioneering dedication of the Marthas is noteworthy in the fields of Health Care, Education, and Social Work, as well as household management. From the turn of the century to 1994 Saint Martha's convent on St. F. X. campus was home to many Marthas. Today the former, "Home of the Marthas," opens its doors daily as a Centre of Hospitality. Here the Sisters carry on their 118 year old tradition of service to the Xaverian family through a welcoming Martha presence to all who come.</p>
<h3><strong>Location</strong></h3>
<p>Wellspring is located on the second floor of Morrison Hall on the South side of the building, next to Mini Moes.</p>
